I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that reopening the site for a joke isn’t a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how not being on this site is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support by letting them log back in is not okay.

You can say I’m being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and not having to be on this site is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling to find this site reopened for the sake of an update. Maybe that’s laughable or pathetic. But for me, it’s true.
